Materials:

Almond Stitch Crochet Pattern:

Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot. Chain in multiples of 8 and then add an additional 5 chains.

Row 1:

• Slip stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook.
• Make 3 more slip stitches, one in each of the next 3 chains (4 slip stitches total).
• In the next 4 chains, work one half double crochet into each chain (4 half double crochets total).
• Alternate between 4 slip stitches and 4 half double crochets across the row.
• You should end with 4 slip stitches in the last 4 chains.

Row 2:

• Chain 1 and turn your work.
• Start working in the back loops only for this entire row.
• Work 4 slip stitches in the back loops of the first 4 stitches.
• Then work 4 half double crochets in the back loops of the next 4 stitches.
• Alternate between 4 slip stitches and 4 half double crochets until the end of the row.
• Finish with 4 slip stitches in the back loops of the last 4 stitches.

For Row 3:

• Chain 1 and turn.
• Start by working 4 half double crochets in the back loops only of the first 4 stitches.
• Follow with 4 slip stitches in the next 4 stitches.
• Continue alternating between 4 half double crochets and 4 slip stitches until the end of the row.
• Finish with 4 half double crochets in the back loops of the last 4 stitches.

Row 4:

• Chain 1 and turn.
• Follow the pattern set by Row 2 (which is essentially a repeat of Row 3).
• Alternate between 4 half double crochets and 4 slip stitches, all worked into back loops only, just as you did in Row 3.

Repeat Rows 3 and 4:

• Continue the pattern by repeating Rows 3 and 4 to achieve the desired length for your project.
• Each section will have two rows starting with slip stitches (Row 2 pattern) and then two rows starting with half double crochets (Row 3 pattern). This creates the texture of the Almond Stitch.
